Managed Repair Program
Alleged to be
Unconstitutional
Middagh Law, P.L.L.C., today, announces the filing of a Class Action against Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, Citizens’ Board of Governors, Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, Florida Financial Services Commission and Florida Department of Financial Services. The State of Florida and its entities are alleged to be violating a property owner’s right to maintain their property as they wish and their right and freedom to contract with whomever they wish to perform repairs after a water loss as allowed under Florida’s Constitution.
“This Class Action is a major move in ensuring Florida citizens have their constitutional rights protected against the State of Florida and its governmental entities. The State should not be allowed to take your constitutional rights away without substantive due process!”–Richard Middagh
This action comes in the wake of Citizens’ policy changes and the creation of the Managed Repair Program in 2018, which includes:
• $10,000.00 limit on water damage repairs unless the homeowners or business owners allow the State of Florida and its entities to determine what is damaged and to be in charge of the repairs without the policyholders being able to contest or object.
• The main objective stated by the State is to limit homeowners’ or business owners' ability to hire representation after a water loss, which then only allows the State to determine your damages and conduct its own repairs on private property.
“The State’s main purpose is to prevent oversight and to be the sole authority over a private homeowner’s or business owner's damages and repairs.”–Richard Middagh
